In 1981, Christie Brinkley appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated for the third year in a row (1979-1981). That had never been done before. She was also the face of Cover Girl for 25 years and has appeared on the cover of more than 500 magazines! But don’t let her good looks fool you, she’s quite the businesswoman as well. In 2018 her financial holdings were worth an estimated $250 million, primarily from real estate and several companies that she owns.
In 2018, her daughter, Sailor Brinkley Cook, also graced the cover of Sports Illustrated just like her mama. People were quick to comment on the striking resemblance between the two. In 2019’s New York Fashion week, Christie and Sailor walked the runway together! How cool is that?
Kate Moss & Lila Grace Moss
Kate Moss, the English fashion model and businesswoman, was known as one of the “50 Sexiest Women of All Time” and has made the cover of several magazines around the world. Her daughter, Lila Grace Moss, has already landed a cover of Vogue!
Kate Moss was once known as the face of "Heroin chic" and for her infamous mantra "Nothing tastes as great as skinny feels." Years later, now as a mother to a young woman, she regrets spreading that idea. She empowers her daughter and other young women and encourages them to be body-positive and not give in to western beauty standards.
Will Smith & Jaden Smith
There's almost no need to explain who Will Smith is. Among his Oscar nominations and Grammys, he's currently also one of Instagram's favorite personalities. Jaden Smith is a young philosopher at heart, sharing his deepest thoughts on social media, but they aren't often understood by his peers. Jaden attempted to open more people's minds to gender fluidity when he became the first male model to model women's wear for Louis Vuitton.
Jaden also is a co-owner of the spring water company Just Water, which manufactures and distributes water in paper bottles rather than plastic, in order to reduce waste. He has also attempted to develop a water filtration system that's affordable and can be used in underdeveloped countries. Fun fact about the Smiths: Jaden's name is inspired by his mother, Jada Pinkett Smith's name, while his sister's name, Willow, was inspired by their dad's name William.
Tom Hanks & Colin Hanks
Tom Hanks is the fourth highest-grossing actor in North America. He has been nominated for several awards during his career. He's won a Golden Globe, an Academy Award for Best Actor, a People's Choice Award for Best Actor, and a Screen Actors Guild Award... the list goes on actually. Quite impressive for a college dropout we must say.
His son, Collin Hanks, has a few hot series on his resume, he starred in the beloved teenage drama The O.C. and had recurrent roles in Fargo, Roswell, and The Good Guys.
John Ritter & Jason Ritter
John Ritter was a beloved actor and comedian. He was best known for his role in the classic series Three's Company. In 2003, John passed away from complications after a heart attack, 6 days shy of his 55th birthday. Tex Ritter, the popular Country Music Hall of Fame singer was John Ritter's father.
Jason Ritter is the eldest son of John Ritter and the grandson of Tex Ritter. Being from a family of celebrated entertainers you'd probably think that Jason Ritter couldn't handle the pressure, but he seems to be doing just fine. He was nominated for an Emmy for his role in the series Parenthood, and he starred in the comedy TV series, Kevin (Probably) Saves the World. Fun fact: If you go back to the opening credits of John's show, Three's Company, you'll notice a little boy with blond hair running up to the actress Joyce DeWitt — that's little Jason!
